§ Mr. D. J. Williamsasked the Minister of Fuel and Power it he has investigated the possibility of adopting a points system for miners to enable them to purchase additional consumer goods; and whether he is in a position to make a statement on the matter.
§ Sir S. CrippsI have been asked to reply. Increased supplies of unrationed goods and a greater variety of rationed commodities are being provided for mining areas, but it has not been found practicable to provide miners with increased allocations of coupons for rationed goods.
